I have slowly been cutting coffee out of my everyday drinking habits. I have done this mostly for the calories from using creamer and just trying to cut back on caffeine overall. There are days though when I am absolutely dragging and could use a pick me up, but coffee just doesn’t even sound appealing. Especially here in Texas where it is 100+ degrees in the afternoons. So what can I use for a pick me up and help me make it with enough energy until bedtime??

5 Hour Energy are a great pick me up when you are so tired, but don’t want to drink coffee.

What is 5 Hour Energy?

Original 5-hour ENERGY® was introduced in 2004. Light, portable and effective, 5-hour ENERGY® shots quickly became the no nonsense way for working adults to stay bright and alert*. It’s packed with B-vitamins and amino acids. It has zero sugar, zero herbal stimulants and four calories.
Now available in grape, pomegranate, berry, lemon-lime and orange!

I have tried other energy drinks in the past and hated the jittery feeling that you would get from them. Now I have to say up front that I am not a fan of the taste of the 5 Hour Energy, but with them being so small at least you get the taste of them over with quickly. For the most part, I only take half a bottle which is supposed to be equal to about a half cup of coffee or so. What I liked is that I never got that jittery feeling or felt a complete crash as you would with most energy drinks that are full of sugar. 

I really could have used some of these while we were moving to help keep me going during those longs days!! What is good about the 5 Hour Energy is that it is loaded with vitamins that also help keep you going and get your energy up in more ways than caffeine can. 

There are three kinds of 5 Hour Energy available Regular, Decaf and Extra Strength. They are all about 4 calories and are sugar free. 


You can follow 5 Hour Energy on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ to learn more about them and watch for deals and news. They have a couple of contests running right now on their Facebook page.
